The orchestra, conducted by Rob Fisher, will be sweetened with six additional strings, reflecting the sound heard in the Encores! concert that inspired the full stage revival.

A number of albums of the score exist (including Broadway and TV cast albums, both starring Rosalind Russell), but Fordin said the reasons for doing this new one are clear: The production's energy and Murphy's incandescent performance.
